Full moon on February 1, 2026

Just five more days until our next full moon. The one pictured above featured some pretty cool clouds that didn’t photograph well.

Lithia Park in the snow (February 17, 2026)

AI seemed quite certain when it informed me that this photo of Ashland Creek that I took in Ashland’s Lithia Park was in fact a scene from the “North Fork of the Middle Fork Willamette River in the Willamette National Forest”.

After watching Listers twice in the past four months, I may have found a new hobby.

partially frozen Little Hyatt Lake (January 2, 2026)

For whatever reason, it took us almost 25 years to visit Little Hyatt Lake for the first time in 2025. However, we just drove by because a scary-looking truck was parked there, and it wasn’t our destination on that day anyway.

Flash forward a few months to warmer-than-usual January temperatures, and we decided to go again. This time we hiked in on the PCT.
